The Warhol Economy: How Fashion, Art, and Music Drive New York City
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
Elizabeth Currid looks at New York City and asks where its economic life really comes from. Rather than focusing on finance or manufacturing, she argues that fashion, art and music generate a large share of the city's jobs, money and identity. Drawing on the idea of a Warhol economy, she examines how creative people, their networks and their social scenes produce value, and why cultural industries cluster in particular neighborhoods. The result is a study of how culture works as an economy, with lessons for other cities hoping to grow.
